Of wanting to live in safty in London - NorthernRaider - 8 December 2014
£620,000 to live in a crappy 3 bed streethouse, they must be insane, but none the less paying £620 grand for a house in London and felling the need to improve your security by building a 2 meter high palisade across the front of your house is a sure sign of the times.

being an Aussie it's quite a normal thing for him...building reg's over there demand you put up boundary fences like that in a large portion of the country......I fear he has made his security plight worse....that's never going to keep a criminal out and it gives them somewhere to lay in wait unseen to commit aggravated intrusion/sex attack/hijack etc etc

It looks awful, he would have been better with 4ft high railings and a nice Pyracantha hedge trained over the top of a full height gate.

Dunno if all areas of Aus require bug fences MO - my brother tried to get permission to build a 5-foot high picket fence around his place but was knocked back by the local council. In the end they built a 1 meter high brick wall, then planted a variety of spiky and prickly bushes all the way around the interior boundary.
Then again, he could've just built it without getting permission and its doubtful anyone would be the wiser. When their plan was knocked back they asked why the bloke down the road was allowed to build a 2 meter stone wall all around his property, with the answer being that the council had no record of it, so it must have been a legacy build from the time before the latest council rules went into place. They didn't grass them up and tell them they saw it being built the previous summer though.
